Cucumber Transformation Service

Introduction

Creative Biogene offers cucumber one-stop solution including genetic transformation, genome editing and genetic improvement. Our Cucumber Service combines advanced biotechnology with deep crop-specific expertise to empower researchers and breeders in developing next-generation cucumber varieties. Whether your goal is disease resistance, climate adaptability, or market-driven trait enhancement, we deliver tailored, efficient, and scientifically robust solutions.

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) is a globally significant vegetable crop, prized for its nutritional value, versatility, and economic importance. However, traditional breeding methods face challenges in addressing rapidly evolving agricultural demands, such as climate resilience, disease resistance, and enhanced yield. Genetic transformation and genome editing technologies have emerged as revolutionary tools to accelerate cucumber improvement by enabling precise modifications to its genome.

Services offered by Creative Biogene

Genetic Transformation Services

Stable Genetic Transformation: Delivery of target genes into cucumber genomes using Agrobacterium-mediated or biolistic methods.
Transient Transformation: Rapid gene expression analysis for functional studies.
Customized Transformation Systems: Tailored protocols for recalcitrant or specialty cucumber varieties.

Genome Editing Services

Gene Knockout: Genome editing-mediated disruption of target genes to study function or enhance traits.
Base Editing: Precise single-nucleotide changes without double-strand breaks.
Prime Editing: Versatile editing for targeted insertions, deletions, or substitutions.
Transgene-Free Genome Editing: Produce non-transgenic, edited plants.

Trait-Specific Genetic Improvement

Disease Resistance: Fungal, viral, and bacterial pathogens (e.g., powdery mildew, cucumber mosaic virus).
Abiotic Stress Tolerance: Drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures.
Yield Enhancement: Improved fruit size, number, and uniformity.
Nutritional Quality: Elevated vitamins, antioxidants, and shelf-life extension.
Parthenocarpy: Seedless fruit development for commercial appeal.

Application of Cucumber Transformation

Enhanced Traits: Faster development of disease-resistant, drought-tolerant, or nutrient-rich varieties.
Sustainability: Reduced reliance on chemical pesticides through engineered biotic stress resistance.
Innovation: Enables cutting-edge research in plant biology and biotechnology.

Applications span commercial agriculture, research institutions, and biotech companies aiming to develop superior cucumber varieties.

Advantages

Fully matured plant genetic engineering platform.
Professional teams in molecular construction, tissue culture, transformation and phenotypic analysis.
Years of experience in crop genome editing, base editor, and prime editor.
